2014 SEC recruiting primer

With the new ESPN 100 player rankings out and as the 2014 basketball recruiting cycle picks up heading into the July evaluation periods, here's a look at how each team in the SEC is shaping up in the 2014 recruiting class. Team-by-team recruiting capsules for the Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and ACC are already out, and the AAC (Monday), Big East (Tuesday) and best of the rest (Wednesday) will be coming in subsequent days.

Storyline to watch: The offseason transfer of Trevor Lacey and possible loss of Devonta Pollard could leave the Tide without star power, so it would be nice to land one of the higher-profile guys from their wish list. The measure of Alabama's 2014 class could come down to how much scoring power gets signed.

Bold prediction: The strong presence of Grant appeals to one of their primary wing targets and the Tide land a top-50 perimeter player. They have first crack at Gant.

Overall recruiting trend: Even, largely thanks to last year's frontcourt group having some long-term potential. As for many of the teams in this league, it's a big year on the recruiting trail.
